Why is it....

GM, as you imply from your question, the marina owns none of the water. So you are right, it's not really clear what a member can do when their club has a rule against fishing in the marina. I guess it depends on the club's definition of "in the marina". Tied to a dock seems like it is obviously in the marina, but floating free or anchored it becomes more subjective.

I doubt this ever gets to a court case, it's all about breaking rules you agreed to. If the rules are unclear or unbearable then you shouldn't really agree. The club should clarify the rules if they want them followed.
